powerbook lombard

[pdebbas]

i have a powerbook lombard (bronze key) with a 4 gb drive. i have partitioned the drive as follows: first partition with mac os 9 and reserved the second partition as a hpfs+ volume for the mac os x. can i install mac os x on the second partition/volume? will i have to format the whole disk?

thanx

You will be able to install to the second partition but I have had sever problems installing on My Lombard, but I think that is due to the CD Image I have.

it all went fine. did not have ANY problems when installing. so i must say that i am happy.

but... can't use ppp from the classic environment.

Cant get Classic to run at all. Definitely Beta software, possibly even Alpha......

did install a clean and fresh version of mac os 9.04 on the first partition, before installing mac os x on the other?

[ChrisJ]

Yep, Brand New. Just doesnt like it, until the final comes out I think I am going to just use X as an experiment, no serious work.
